The most common way of helping many people by a small amount is through business. Whether it’s one you’ve started or one you work for, in a large business you can make many, many people’s lives slightly (at least) better by improving upon, or inventing a new, superior service or product. Businesses can scale up far more than charities. And if you create a social-impact focused business, you can also significantly improve each of your clients’ lives. Businesses have improved the world far more than charities have, through economic growth and technological progress.
